Babies And Marriage

Catherine StrawnMay 7, 2008 //

Even though any parent will tell you (hopefully) that their children are the lights of their life, having kids will make a marriage less lovely, at least for a bit. A study published in the Journal of Family Psychology found that couples experience a serious drop in marital satisfaction in their first year of being parents. This might have something to do with the fact that new parents get something like three hours of sleep every night. By the time the baby is 18 months old, however, marital satisfaction bounces back.

Your Child Is What You Eat

What you eat around the time you get pregnant could influence whether you have a boy or a girl, a study published in Proceedings B, a biological research journal, reported. And because diets have changed due to industrialization (Hamburgers! French fries! Sour Patch Kids!), diet could be a possible explanation for the falling proportion of male births.

Poll: We’re Having A Baby Of Indeterminate Sex!

Catherine StrawnApril 10, 2008 //

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale don’t want to find out the sex of their baby until Gwen goes into it’s born. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban know their baby’s sex but aren’t sharing. Tori Spelling expressed her need to know on Jimmy Kimmel last month: “We are going to find out because I hate yellow nurseries! And then if you don’t tell people, you just get [gifts of] yellow and white stuff!” Would you want to know whether you’re having a boy or a girl?

First Time For Everything: Having A Baby

Kate HeidelbergerMarch 31, 2008 //

It was like out of a dirty dream: I was lying on my back on a stainless steel table completely naked when the door opened. Owen Wilson walked in with a large white sexy toy looking thing, wearing a lab coat. He looked so hot I could barely stand it. As he walked near me he started to talk…

“Hi Kate, my name is Dr. D.”

Oh that’s right. No, I am not lucky enough to be having a sexual role-play encounter with Owen Wilson. I am pregnant and seeing my OB/GYN (who happens to look and talk just like the You, Me, and Dupree star) for the first time. A girl can dream though right? Especially when the reality is as unexpected and bizarre as any nighttime mind wanderings.

Dr. D explained to me why he was holding what appeared to be a massive sex toy; it was an internal ultrasound machine, which would allow him…me…to see the baby. As my lady parts (the parts…the position, that got me in this situation in the first place!) were being poked and prodded, I began to contemplate how the hell I got here. Keep reading »

If You Want A Baby, Stop Buying Marc Jacobs

Catherine StrawnMarch 25, 2008 //

Did you have a baby last year? We didn’t — good thing, too, because babies are expensive and we really can’t afford one at the moment. Yesterday, the USDA released its estimate for what it will cost to raise a child born in 2007 until he or she turns 18. Factoring for inflation, middle-income families will spend $269,040, and this doesn’t include college, SAT prep classes, Brett Favre jerseys, iPhones, or whatever happens to be popular by the time these children hit middle school. For about the same amount of money, you could buy this house in Clermont, FL, but why you would is beyond me. [Reuters] Keep reading »

Frisky Quote Of The Day: Kelly Osbourne

Catherine StrawnMarch 24, 2008 //

“I respect Gwyneth Paltrow, because she covers her babies’ faces – she never lets the paparazzi get that picture. I’m not going to put the Spice Girls down, because I’m a fan, but they took their kids on stage at every single show of that last tour. To be a child of three and have 25,000 girls screaming at you – I don’t think that’s necessarily good. But I’m not a mum, what do I know?” — Kelly Osbourne [The Sunday Times, U.K.]

Ford’s New Model

SimchaMarch 11, 2008 //

Fashion designer Tom Ford knows this season’s hottest accessory is the baby bump and he wants to make one for his 2008 Collection. The dapper American legend raised Gucci, YSL, and his own house, but now he wants a kid….and what a stylish looker his baby will be! Although Ford’s been with his partner, Richard Buckley, former Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Hommes International, foreva-eva, Ford admits he slept with women until he finally realized he was too hot to not be a homo. So now, for the first time in about thirty years, one lucky lady will get to be his sperm receptacle/baby mama! And the fringe benefits sound even better. After all, one womb for a free wardrobe is better than the going surrogacy rate for sure. [Style Dash] Keep reading »

We’re 50 Percent Sure That It’s A Boy!

Catherine StrawnMarch 3, 2008 //

More than 100 women have filed a lawsuit against Acu-Gen, a company that offers at-home blood tests to determine a baby’s sex, because their test results were wrong. “I wouldn’t have had an abortion, but there are women out there who experience really big disappointment,” said one mother whose test results were incorrect. “They really want to give their husbands the little boy they want, or a little girl, and they will abort based on these results.” Honestly, we think that it’s a good thing these DNA tests aren’t 100 percent accurate if couples are considering having abortions based on the results.
